Bite was very tough and fish were on the move. Most caught were coughing up water fleas and crayfish. Green and brown plastics worked best.

Numerous bass were on beds up shallow. Watched this guy chase off carp school after carp school from his bed. Casted to the bed from about 50 feet away (water was pretty clear, needed the distance) and watched him come over an eat the bait. Plenty of aggressive bass with some skittish and sluggish bass. Spawn in full swing!
